1 Samuel 30

1 Samuel 30:24
And who will listen to you in this matter?  For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage; they shall share alike."
I'm not the kind of person who likes to stand in front of a crowd and be known.  I'm not a public speaker, or musician, or even particularly a leader.  I'm a logistican, the type who stays in the background, working a board, or monitoring a feed.  The type who might normally only be on stage before or after the "performance," to lay things out or tidy them up.  If I'm on stage during the "show," it means something went wrong that has to be fixed immediately.

As such, I tend not to get much praise or reward.  My jobs aren't those that people come up to thank you for later, or offer congratulations.  If I'm doing my job right, they never even know I'm there.  Nonetheless, without me (or at least, those like me), things would fall apart.  So it is pleasing to know that someone like David would remember the backgrounders, those of us who may not be the most visible, but are still needed.
